We will explore how comfortable we are with the idea of boundaries and how we experience them in our personal relationships and in the therapeutic space.During the day there will be both theoretical input (drawing on the work of authors such as Donald Winnicott and Pat Ogden) as well as opportunities for discussion and experiential work to help deepen understanding and awareness of this important topic.About the speaker:Lou Webb is an experienced psychotherapist with an MA in Psychotherapy and a BSc in Psychology.
